The Eagles decided that $9 million in 2018 would be too much for defensive end Vinny Curry. The Buccaneers quickly gobbled him up.
Curry has agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Buccaneers, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. Curry reportedly will make up to $27 million (key words “up to”), with $11.5 million guaranteed for injury.
A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that $6.5 million is fully guaranteed at signing.
A second-round pick out of Marshall in 2012, Curry didn’t start a game from 2012 through 2016, and he started every game in 2017 -- including all three postseason games. But the Eagles couldn’t justify keeping him for cap reasons.
